Mystery Tools - What is it?

[Nick H]

Don't know what these are, but this is the forum to ask. Someone asked me and its been bothering me since.

SOTEG - Made in Germany

Current owner has had the over 60 years any doesn't know what there for. The box isn't original and google hasn't helped.

Seem to soft to be traditional chisels, not sure if its for clay - ice - leather - spork prototypes?

Someone put me out of my misery.

Best I can tell they look like leatherworking tools.

This.

If those teeth are rotated 45 degrees, the leather working angle would make sense. Slits for stitches are best angled to prevent tearing out of the stitches. Or so they tell me.

I do leatherwork, and know quite a bit about leather tooling, I don't think this is leather stuff. (might be wrong, but it just doesn't add up for leather)

Could they be something that would be used in a high production situation? Looks like they fit into another tool, such as a handle or perhaps a machine.

I'm thinking automotive interiors, or something of that nature.
